I know I usually love writing long, drawn out introductory paragraphs, but this time I thought I'd kind of jump straight to the point. It's the month-ish late top 20 albums of 2015 list that none of you two or three readers asked for. I just couldn't resist another opportunity to tell you how much better the music I listen to is, you know? (cue the boos) In all seriousness though, 2015 was quite the year for the industry as a whole, with a lot of quality albums dropping consistently throughout. I've never had a harder time putting these in an order I'm happy with, and find myself flip flopping and changing things up every damn time I think it over again. Albums #17-#7 could have been rearranged in any other order and I wouldn't have much of an argument against it. You'd think that this fact would more or less cement how pointless of an exercise this all is, but really, the whole point of this post isn't so much the order of the list. Nay, the whole point is actually the list itself. In other words, I think these 20 particular albums and artists deserve recognition and props for their greatness. It's just that nobody tends to give a damn unless there's a determined hierarchy to it all. People, am I right?
